Hi! I'm 21 years old and I study physics in Hamburg. Right now I call myself 6-Dan with an EGF Rating (November 2004) of 2577. On KGS, I play as "Ahamay" - My ICQ-Number and email-adress can be found in my info there.

I was born in Heidelberg, but I spent most of my life until now in Bremen, where I started to learn Go from Jochen Fassbender when I was 12. I think his good way to teach and motivate me was the biggest reason that people believe I would be "strong".

The other reason are my studies in Japan: As a student of the late Hans Pietsch (6p), I went to visit him and his teacher Kobayashi Chizu in Tokyo several times for study, staying there about a month each time. I decided to try to become Insei for one year starting in September '03, but I already stopped in November due to personal problems.

I asked Hans many times how I could thank him and Chizu-Sensei for anything they did for me. He always responded that I should just pass on everything to the next generation some time. To have a start, I founded the German Insei School, where young and talented kids get many cheap lessons on KGS while solving tsumego-problems at their level. I hope that sometime we can make a non-virtual school out of it.

Anyways, you don't need to go to Japan or have a pro teacher to become incredible strong (say 7 dan)!
Have a look at my guide to become really strong.

Recently I thought of a new teaching method for beginners using stone counting. I'd like to hear your opinion about it.

I wrote about some of my experiences in Japan here.

Right now I'm very interested in creating an UltimateGoServer, which combines all of the good things about KGS, IGS, SL, goproblems.com and much more.
